it's this topic again. the last one (long time ago) was an absolute blast & success. it has given me a lot of new material to broaden my horizon with & it's fed my hunger for diversity in many ways.

so even if the song you want to recommend isn't superobscure & you're not a 100% certain I haven't heard of it, let alone I'd have it on my computer... recommend me it anyway.

not only would I love for you to recommend me stuff, I'd appreciate it even more if you'd upload it for me & give me a link to it. makes it all a whole lot easier. if you want to, I'll react to your recommendation with my own opinion.

also, my file with songs of Stellastar* & Chicks on Speed got lost (don't ask me how), so whatever you have by them, please upload that too. would be great, thanks.

What style of music are you interested in?

JoY

04-08-2006, 06:53 PM

right, I forgot to mention that whatever style, genre, subgenre, blablah, I'm kind of open-minded towards everything & would embrace every attempt to enlighten me with the awesomeness of your musical taste.

Lucky Boys Confusion is sort of alt rock with a tad of a reggae edge and scientifically proven to have a song for everyone, Asia is 80s rock, Mellencamp is just.. rock, R.E.M. is softish rock, Queensryche is heavy/progressive metal, Sonata Arctica is progressive/power metal, and Better Than Ezra is just regular modern rock, yet original sounding.

Of course not all of it tonight, but i'll PM them to you over the course of the next week.

JoY

04-08-2006, 07:06 PM

AAE, sugarball, could you upload the goodies?

CoO, seems like too much work. how am I supposed to know what I want you to upload, when I don't know all of those songs? just take a chance & upload whatever you like best.

Get on MSN and I can just send it an album at a time if I can figure out how.

Edit: I'll send samples first, then you can decide if you want the rest.

I'm not sure if you've heard of them, but Gogol Bordello is a gyspypunk band I'm sure you'd enjoy. They aren't extremely talented, but they're fun to listen to and they're borderline-funny due to their laughably bad vocals. Another good band is Streetlight Manifesto (which is a ska band that has a lot of Eastern influence in their hornlines). You may have heard of Catch 22, which was the lead singer's, the bassist's, and the trumpet's first band. They're fun to listen to, although the lyrics can be somewhat depressing.

thanks, I'll check them out in time. seeing it's 4:21 AM over here now, it's a little late for that now.

I think you might be one of the few people in this board who will probably like Shakti. They're basicaly an indian jazz fusion band with a violinist, a guitar player, and a tabla player, and some guy who plays some sort of weird drum thingy(I can't remember the name). hmm...I think the proper genre is world music. There's lots of improvisation, really fast playing, and intersting melodies. Fun stuff http://www.offspring.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

*Edit: it's fun stuff, Jebus. I'm not sure what to think of it yet, but I like the second one best so far. it at least cheers me up & that's some accomplishment that week of the month.

**Editedit: hold on, that second one is AWESOME!

04-08-2006, 07:28 PM

OK, well, I've uploaded a few for you.

The first is Laquer Head by Primus. I've got massively into Primus recently. It's very bouncy and a joy to listen to, and this is my favourite song. I'd describe it as modern rock-funk. You really, really need to hear this song. Of all the one's I'm uploading you'll probably like this the most.

The second is Wolf by Iced Earth. This is pure metal. You might not like it but it has lovely connotations of last summer for me, so I guess I'm kinda biased. Give it a try anyway.

The last is Blood Red Sandman by Lordi. Much heavier but it has a nice beat, and also reminds me of last summer. Try it anyway.

And to see the most hilarious thing, go here (http://www.okgo.net/news.aspx) and watch the dance for the song (on the left).

I'm currently in love with this band, but I'm not sure what song to choose, so somewhat at random:
Wilco - Pick Up the Change (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0MHAOJM7WVUFB2R5PIX6UUJ691)

And finally, this is a techno-ish band, but I really like this song:
Royksopp - What Else Is There (http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=22PCT8DB530H92D15DHVOFLDPK)

Wow, I have to say that I definitely approve of some of Conspiracy's choices.

Psycho Killer is one of my songs that I always put on mixed CDs for people, the live version though. So awesome.

Also, Joe Jackson, super fun.

And you can't go wrong with CCR.

Edit: Bella, the funny thing about songs is that sometimes you'll hear them a bunch of times and then one day you'll hear it and think "my god, this song kicks ass". That happened to me with the first couple.

Sufjan Stevens

Some of his stuff is real lively and energetic while others are soft and depressing. He has influences showing from indie, folk, pop, soundtrack-ish stuff and a smidge of jazz every now and then. He plays everything you hear on the recordings except for strings (violin, cello, etc) and trumpet. He plays piano, guitar, bass, drums, wood flute, banjo, saxophone and a whole lot of other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

Chicago (http://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0NFWWJYG15SHG2X2IA7PQJVMN2)
They are night zombies!! They are neighbors!! They have come back from the dead!! AHHHH!!! (http://s64.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21KVG1KIMYS4W0O2WDIA706H06)

Deep Turtle

They're known mostly for their jazz-core stuff but branch out into a lot of genres (including dabbling with world music, jazz-punk, etc.). Their best stuff is awesome but some of their other stuff can be a bit 'meh'

North Star Infinite
Actually my brother's band, but they're real good when they're on. Their main influences are Sunny Day Real Estate, At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Tool and Radiohead. Their weakest link is the singer who can't decide which of the singers from the aforementioned bands he's trying to imitate despite the fact he doesn't have the voice to pull off any of their styles.

I'm too lazy to dig around for other stuff that you might not have already heard.

Betty

04-08-2006, 09:10 PM

I really enjoy the "They are Night Zombies!!!" song, good call, that's the one I would pick off of that album to share as well. Although, I have to admit that I wouldn't feel quite right promoting this guy cause it seems like there is just so much hype.

There's a lot of hype around him but it's one of the few times where it's actually a bit justified. He might not be the best songwriter around like some people say but he's really good and has been consistently for three albums (I have his three most recent albums, dunno anything from his earlier stuff yet). I have a tendency to disagree with almost everything said on Pitchfork Media so I was expecting to hate the guy at first but after hearing just a couple songs he won me over.

Also, I never heard of him until like 6 months after Illinois came out, so the hype around him is really only in certain circles.

Betty

04-08-2006, 09:28 PM

I enjoy him a decent amount, but not enough to have fallen in love as I have with many other artists. It's not even that the hype is unjustified, there's just a LOT, that's all.

In a way, it's kinda like with the Arcade Fire. This band is hyped-up beyond belief, and not just in a few elite circles, EVERYONE has heard of them. So that kinda used to annoy me as there are tons of good bands that deserve just as much hype so why did this one just happen to get it all? But the funny thing is, the more I listen to Funeral, I definitely start to agree that it's pretty fucking amazing.

nieh

04-08-2006, 09:37 PM

The thing about Sufjan Stevens is that I know a lot of people that have never heard of the guy, but when I actually play one of his albums for them they end up really liking it. He's just very good and has a certain sound that just about everyone at least kinda-sorta likes once they hear it. There are a lot of great bands out there that deserve hype too but end up not getting it simply because they don't have a sound that appeals to such a wide array of people. It is a shame because I'm sure some of them are more creative and are way more original, but that doesn't change the fact that he's very good at what he does.

Well, then allow me to plug. Pretty much guaranteed you would like them. I'd upload, but I'd have to rip it too, and all that work. So if you express interest, I could. Otherwise, it's probably pretty easy to download.

Here's some shtuff.

Lucky Boys Confusion- Le Chanson de Soldat (http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1JZ9WNZ0EHBLT1PLVCXFXWOFRI) AAE and I share a love for this band, but this song is totally different than the songs he mentioned, which are all in the band's normal style of super-fun pop-punky songs. This one's more serious and has some really creative sounds, especially in the drumming.

Sponge- Lucky (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=16TQZMB45DWX225N4BD77SZXCC) Well Sponge is my favorite band ever, and I haven't ever been able to get anyone else into them. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs, and I've never tried using this song to get people into Sponge, so who knows, it might work. It came off of an album, New Pop Sunday, that I had a terribly hard time finding because Sony dropped them when they weren't satisfied with the songs they'd written for the album. Well, Sony are a bunch of douchebags because it's just about my favorite album ever.
Sponge- Radio Prayer Line (http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2YRNVVXLERKVI1SOCIXJG7UNH1)
And here's another one I like from New Pop Sunday.

Phoenix- Run Run Run (http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3C50AERPY6TAR1VEMWKB3F5SJP)
This is one of the catchiest motherfucking tunes ever. This band is quite cool despite being French.

Yo La Tengo- Fog Over Frisco (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=29X5I0LINUJVZ2AHT8D3FCA723) Everyone keeps telling me to get into Yo La Tengo, but it's just so hard to know where to start when they have so much stuff. I haven't liked most of their stuff as people have been telling me I should, but this song is sufficiently awesome. It's really dark, and kinda depressing, but beautiful.

Riley- Sixth Dream (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3UDGDTQ4EATZD2Y1AGQGIM8DMP)
This is my friend. Just ignore the fact that he's my friend, because he's legit. I'd rather listen to him than the majority of anything else. He plays keyboard, but he also sings in this one. That's him singing the verses, and then his brother sings the chorus.
Riley- Metamorphose (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2VYHCC8KT6CAQ2436YD0RO8K1G) Want more? This is more typical of his stuff. All instrumental, techno-rave-type song. w00t.

JohnnyNemesis

04-08-2006, 10:18 PM

Well Sponge is my favorite band ever, and I haven't ever been able to get anyone else into them.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time: does it upset you when people talk about how much they like "Plowed", but never mention any other song of theirs because they haven't heard anything else? I bet you get that kinda often...?

Because "Plowed" is some of the best shit I've ever heard in my entire life, and I bet you wanna strangle me for it.

XYlophonetreeZ

04-08-2006, 10:21 PM

Hell fucking no, Plowed IS one of the best songs ever, and to be honest I don't know if any of their lesser-known songs are any better. I'd find it hard to imagine anything better than Plowed. But yeah, their other stuff is awesome too and you should check it out.

JohnnyNemesis

04-08-2006, 10:24 PM

I might, I might. I just wanna repeat that EVERYONE should listen to "Plowed" because it is so incredible:

I'll edit some more in too.
first one's alright, second one doesn't fully load & I'm not going to say anything about 38 seconds, third one is alright, fourth one is niice, fifth one aswell, sixth one is alright, the seventh one I love, eighth one is yippie. thanks. I can't get instantly enthousiastic, maybe overtime after listening to them some more.

JoY

04-09-2006, 03:35 AM

Josh, the first two were great! totally digging it. the second three were funky & I was liking it instrumentally, but not exactly vocally. maybe it's a matter of listening to them more often. then the third three, they didn't work, but I think I've already got Mean Old Bastard in my playlist. *Edit: wait, one is working now. oh wait, I remember; I removed Mean Old Bastard from my playlist a little while ago. there seems to be a lot of potential & it's close to make me like it, but not close enough. the vocals kind of annoy me, yeah. instrumental they're great. *thumbs up* maybe it's something I can get used to.

wow Ryan, that's a LOT. I'll check it all out some time. too much work on my hands right now to sit down for it with any form of patience whatsoever.

JoY

04-09-2006, 03:43 AM

holy shit, hold on; I'm digging Sponge a whole fucking lot.

Lucky Boys Confusion is extremely cute music. cheers me up-kind of stuff. I like the combination of instruments & styles. it's not extreme, or very experimental, but wah, it works. the vocalist kind of has the sugarvoice for a guy. supersweet & a bit unmanly. but I like.

.m4p??? what kind of an extension is that & what program do I need to play that stuff with??

Tizzalicious

04-09-2006, 04:26 AM

m4p would be iTunes I think.

I uploaded these for a friend, they will last for ONE day longer.

The Strokes - Meet Me In The Bathroom (yeah Johnny I know you hate them) (http://beta.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=5956408871C0F6D8)

XY, I came to the conclusion that you may recommend me music any day. I like e-ve-ry-thing so far & what I don't like, I can't listen to due to the filesize. so yeah, awesomeness. Riley is also fantastic stuff. Metamorphose is just great.

/RANT:
the perfect thing about these topics made by ME, is that the Netherlands is possibly the least musically experimental, musically talented country on the planet with the least musical taste. not always, of course. we have a couple of great bands, a couple of great stuff, a couple of fantastic bands from overseas that get played here, but overal you don't hear a lot about bands, that aren't incredibly popular & well known all over the world. we hear everything last.

just the happy hardcore scene from a couple of years ago (no matter how funny that was) proves how much we musically suck. pretty much the best we can do is 'raise' a band like Racoon, which is happy poprock. completely awesome, but nothing extreme, experimental, or whatever. just funky, crazy & fun. & everything that is experimental, is just pseudocultural junk.

so what I'm trying to say is that my knowledge of bands worldwide, my knowledge of what's out there is extremely limited & everything is new to me. it's just one great discovery of new things to listen to.

I know Dutch people that listen to superobscure bands, but they mostly do to sound interesting & most bands they listen to are obscure HERE, but superwell known on the rest of the planet. & superobscure stuff we deal with most of the times, that isn't popular in the rest of the world, absolutely sucks.

I'm enthousiastic beyond words about everything everyone has recommended me so far. it's amazing, the things I have NEVER heard of before, that people have listened to for years, that is completely fully new to me. like I'm some kind of music-virgin. maybe I just grew up in a cocoon, I don't know.

JoY

04-09-2006, 05:29 AM

the third one is also a link to Crumble from Sage Francis, Tizz. the last one I already have I think. I've got most of one of their albums on my computer. I'll download it anyway, in case I don't have it yet.

Tizzalicious

04-09-2006, 05:43 AM

Both are Spanish groups; the latter performs mostly instrumental songs and this one is their greatest hit I believe.

And I also recommend most of Joss Stone's songs included in "Soul Sessions", especially All the king's horses, Some kind of wonderful or Fell in love with a boy. I'm sorry I don't have the time to upload all these right now.

They shouldn't even play on another computer unless you authorize that computer to play the protected aac files, and I think you need your password for that. you could burn the files on a cdr or cdrw and then rip them to another format though.

Hopefully I'll get some songs up in a little bit.

The stuff off their second album (Wait for Static and Test Temperment) is better than Mean Old Bastard (though that one part from about 2:20 til 3:20 is awesome), but the singer's still weak.

I'm sure you've already heard these guys but here's something by the Birthday Party. This song just came on my playlist for the first time in forever and I forgot how fucking weird it is. A Dead Song (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2LD3GT36XRYST2AY7ST51Y9HNT)

The Mr. T Experience.

They're dorky pop-punk. Nothing else to it really. They're definitely not the best band out there but I enjoy the hell out of them when they're on.
Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3R5DJVVJ9JWIV0A8H2IBW7A9H1)
King Dork (http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=13EP5EXF8XWZR161THSPMAA1PZ)
You're the Only One for Me (http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1Q1AW4ETEE16Y22NMWWW69KGZB)

Isis (on their last album anyway) were kind of in the same vein of metal as Tool (heavy, hypnotic, kind of pretty) but they do it so, so much better and don't actually sound anything like Tool. The problem is their singer. He screams sometimes and when he's not screaming he still sounds like a total meathead. The good thing? The album's about 45 minutes long and he only shows up for about 2-3 minutes of the entire thing. With this song, just ignore the first 30 seconds. It instantly gets infinitely superior when it hits 30 seconds.

Nellie McKay
She mostly does jazz singing/piano stuff but is very playful about it and has more biting, clever lyrics than most. She also throws in some other stuff like rap every now and then to keep things fun.

My songs should be finished uploading in a minute. I put a few songs from 5 different bands into a folder for each, then put all of them into a bigger folder. It's quite large, but you'll be getting them all at once.

Edit: I now love Sponge. Can someone tell me which album I should buy? I'm going to be buying some offline later.

XYlophonetreeZ

04-09-2006, 09:55 AM

Well, Rotting Piņata is the obvious place to start with Sponge, and it's probably a good choice. It's their first album and it has Plowed on it, but aside from that and the other single, Molly (also a fantastic song), everything's more grungy. So I'd go with that. The rest of their albums should be easy enough to find, aside from New Pop Sunday, which I'll send you if you want.

I seem to remember reading that you liked Sunburn, by Muse. I don't know how many of their songs you know, so I've uploaded the entire Showbiz album. It's the one with Sunburn on it (and that's included). I hope that you haven't heard the other songs yet and that you like them.

I Am The Avalanche is an interesting band and every song I have by them I love. They have like a mature punky kind of genre. One of their best songs is New Disaster- I Am The Avalanche (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WJN42ILU)

Another good song I recently got addicted to is You're Lovely (But You've Got Lots of Problems)- Death From Above 1979 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IEFS8HQJ).

There are also two songs off Contraband I thought were worth mentioning: Sucker Train Blues- Velvet Revolver (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L7AECNIZ) and Do It For The Kids- Velvet Revolver (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EKS7418V).

Hope you like.

Okay, firstly, here's something I owe you. A bass cover of Flight of the Bumblebee (http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0SUF9X7WVRLBY097OZUZFCV5NS), by Manowar. (Because I remember in some thread I asked you for the original version of it and blah blah)
Secondly, Judas Priest. It's a cover, but who cares. It's still awesome. Diamonds and Rust (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1CUPZT9BBE9J11JINQWZLGTBVV).
Thirdly, Black Sabbath - more than doom metal. Here's Sabbra Cadabra (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27YK4JS88R42O0U33FG15VIGRM)
And finally... I know I've already mentioned Manowar, but I have to do it again. Most people hate them, I love them. I'm not going to upload any of their more "extreme" songs, because, well, I can understand why people can't stand those. But this should work. Mountains (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=33OR6F3RULH631Y8LUZOCALF4O).

Er... I don't really expect you to like all of them, but at least tell me what you think.

Porcupine Tree
Steven Wilson from PT produced Opeths Damnation, and then those lucky folks in the US got to see an Opeth/Porcupine Tree tour. I had a hard time choosing just three songs. I guess they'd go under that 'prog rock' kind of genre, even if they don't really like that

I'm not sure if you've heard of them, but Gogol Bordello is a gyspypunk band I'm sure you'd enjoy. They aren't extremely talented, but they're fun to listen to and they're borderline-funny due to their laughably bad vocals.

So I gather you're a fan of classical music, and you play violin.
Well I'll not quite recomend classical violin stuff, more like, classical inspired metal, with a guitarist who's playing has been compared to violin (Randy Rhoads). Hows that sound?

I'll upload the 3 most classical inspired things he wrote, and please dont run away when you see the name Ozzy Osbourne. His original guitarist was amazing and first two albums with him were really great musically. Even if you dont like Ozzy, just listen to the guitar.

Revelation (Mother Earth) ( http://download.yousendit.com/2C469C6052073FAD )
This song is kinda melo-dramatic sounding, and goes through some theme changes throught, keep an ear out for the last minute or two, it goes from a very nice bridge into just pure metal guitar, its awesome.

Diary of a Madman (http://s59.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=24SO7NPIYOND71RJOSJZ75EOGI)
The intro to this is actually a classical guitar peice by someone I dont know, but Ozzy's guitarist took it and rocked it up a little, the bridge in this song, in my own opinion is one of the nicest peices of music ever.

Dee (http://download.yousendit.com/043E8DC26456739D )
This one is just guitar, no bass, drums or vocals, just classical guitar, a peice he wrote as a dedication to his mother, its only like 50 some seconds long, but I really really like it.

Enjoy ( I hope )

first (the Birthday Party): weird indeed. wow. I'm still sitting here with an eyebrow raised skyhigh, so I can't exactly tell you yet what I think about it. "weird" would probably sufficiently describe the feeling.

second (the Mr. T Experience): pretty entertaining, humorous & enjoyable indeed.
third: same as second.
fourth: same as third.

fifth (Isis): wtf? holy shit, I see what you mean. instrumentally I'm fine with it, though. the whole 'grunting'-thing by the singer still left too much of an impression on me to really judge, but uh, yeah. instrumentally it kind of really ruled. I didn't get the full song, by the way, & I wanted to say "but that's alright", but I'm having the feeling it's the rest that I didn't hear that pulls the song over the edge of supposed awesomeness. please, convince me.

sixth (Nellie): that's great! kind of simple, but that makes it supercute.<3
seventh: & I'll abuse the oportunity to say that she's got an incredibly sweet voice.
eighth: I like it loads, like the last ones. but this one seems stronger. more depth. *thumbs up*
ninth: you get the idea; nice stuff that will definitely make it to my playlist.

Maria: Please don't Judas me absolutely isn't my thing. the other one you gave a link to in that post is. me likes!

AAE - hahahaha! no one ever made me a "Isabella.rar" file. like, Isabelladotrar. downloading it like cuhrayzee! thanks.

Gulsah, I absolutely love you. that is just fucking fantastic & turns my mood from :( to :) .

the first one doesn't work. just now I'm curious & interested. =(
the second one is downloading. *Edit: ooo, it's instrumental & GOOD. love it.

Thi? I'm VERY embarrassed to admit this..? but I don't get the site you used. where the hell is the linkage? where do I have to click to get the goodiez? (it's especially embarrassing, because it's not the first time I've had this problem.. with this exact same site)

Anyway, I've got another Jack Off Jill - Strawberry Gashes (http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1J101H4EXO6523GX2EI3MSR12R)
I downloaded them while making a presentation for today about ascending sensoric & descending motoric nerve tracts, their anatomy & signal reflexion on different parts of the brain, lesions, speecharea of Broca & Wernicke & I kind of died of brainfailure after that. (well, it WAS pretty late) so they're on my computer, but I was planning on telling everyone later about what I thought about everything I downloaded yesterday. it's kind of a long, long list to struggle through. :/ I promised it to myself, though, so yeah, will do. =) & thankies.

in my original post with which I started this topic I almost said that it was illegal to recommend me any metal. I'm thoroughly entertained that I got BUNCHES of metal/metal-like recommendations. I'm glad I didn't add that request, though. every once in a while it's great to hear stuff like this.

for who ever, who recommended me:

Ricardo Almonte - The Rise & Fall of Mr. Decline:
not too much variation, but this IS a kind of music I like a lot. I'm simple like that. if I'd listen too much/too long to it, it'd probably make me a fucking nervewreck, but I have loads of shit in my playlist that works on your goddam nerves, but still goes, because of its style.
conclusion: good, too much of the same, undecided.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence & the cover:
Depeche Mode is obviously teh awesome & totally orgasmic. I'm happily surprised that the cover is really enjoyable. of course it's difficult to cover a good song well, but at the same time.. it shouldn't be too hard.

Metallica - Seek & Destroy & cover:
*scratches head* I've listened to some Metallica for a while & there's something about James. something that really thoroughly sucks. there still is something about Metallica, though. can't help it, it must be a sentimental thing.
about the cover: uh oh.. I'm afraid I like this one even better.
general conclusion: *thumbs up* generally fun to listen to, even though I'm not a huge fan of metal/songs with a metal-flavor.

on an unrelated note; I realise people might hate my taste, but *SHRUG*.

No Use For A Name - Enjoy the Silence:
instrumentally I love it. but that guy.. was the poor dude castrated? yes, yes I think so. put a sock in it & this is good stuff. not being too critical towards the vocals, I think this IS going to make my playlist.

Primus - Laquer Head:
already told you my opinion, Dave. instrumentally it's already funky enough to fall in love with it. I dig the combination of styles a LOT. typically Primus, by the way. (what the fuck? ignore what I said before)

Iced Earth - Wolf:
wow, this band brings back some awful memories. I see not much has changed about that. I do kind of have respect for the way Iced Earth instrumentally can ordenly play so much of chaos, but it just makes my head fucking hurt. NEXT.

Hair of the Dog:
it's possible I've already said somewhere before that I dig this one.

Mike Ness - the Devil in Miss Jones:
the hawaian guitar-effect, what the hell is it doing there? I love it. yeah, I'm liking this.

Shakti - La Dance Du Bonheur:
already said that it's teh weird, but extremely fun stuff to listen to. I recommend it to anyone with a somewhat open mind for this kind of stuff. a few questions: do they even have guidelines what to play? how can they play a bunch of utter chaos so well structured? who (what kind of ill mind) composes this stuff? by the way, the violin is good.
conclusion: love.

Shakti - Happiness is Being Together:
one of the best recommendations I've gotten. what a fantastic combination of instruments. happyhappyhappy!
conclusion: love.

Deep Turtle - Tungo:
something about the beginning reminds me of old No Doubt from the Tragic Kingdom days. but yeah, it's not really much like that. although very funky & enjoyable.

Deep Turtle - Jeriko:
I had this one playing on repeat (accidently) yesterday while making my presentation & I think that was part of the reason why my brain absolutely fried. still this is one of the funniest, best recommendations I've gotten. if I ever have it on repeat again, I'll DIE, though.

Deep Turtle - Juzbu:
I'm trying to ignore the vocals (kind of the barfing-effect again) to enjoy the funky flavor they have & I'm pretty much succeeding at that, but not completely. still, I'm not going to dismiss this band just like that. not after the song I mentioned before.

Riley Bunn - Sixth Dream:
already gave my opinion. it fills my room somehow. I can't explain it. it just FILLS the room. general conclusion: like it loads.

for who recommended me the Beatles cover:
I like it! they at least gave it somewhat their own twist.

Surfjan Stevens - They Are Night Zombies!! & Chicago:
have I said anything about these? don't remember. anyway, Josh, was it you who recommended me these? this is growing on me. in the best way possible. I want more of this.

no one recommended me Face a la Mer, right? k, then that's just one I already had. because I know I have it on my computer somewhere, I just didn't know I had it in this folder.

who hooked me up with Billy Idol? or did I do that? (same case as last one)
if someone else did; yes, I dig it.

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla:
enjoyable. very enjoyable. still I'm not completely convinced yet.
conclusion: undecided. (will have to listen to it more)

Danko Jones - First Date:
hahahaha! FUN. superfun. *nods*

Judas Priest - Diamonds in Rust:
undecided. haha, it reminds me of Eye Of The Tiger. unfortunately it's definitely not quite as strong.

Joe Jackson - Got The Time:
can't exactly take them seriously, but good for certain moods. despite quite a few doubts, it made my playlist.

I'm telling my opinion on everything for the second time, aren't I? whatev0rz.

Manowar - Flight Of The Bumblebee:
yes, that's some awesome guitarwork. I'm more impressed with this, than that I find it enjoyable to listen to.

The Pharmacy could use a pharmacist LOL. but seriously, a chillpill would do them good. maybe it's stuff I need to get used to. I WILL give it a second chance - I'm too much in a hurry now anyway.

Kimya Dawson - Anthrax:
not sure yet, but I think I like it. that's always a great sign; not liking it right away. there is something pretty unique about it. this could be a success.

Jack Off Jill (just for Michellebelle) - Strawberry Gashes:
-exact- same thing I just said to Ricky about Kimya.

NOW I remember. thank you. LOADS. I was getting frustrated.

in my original
Shakti - La Dance Du Bonheur:
already said that it's teh weird, but extremely fun stuff to listen to. I recommend it to anyone with a somewhat open mind for this kind of stuff. a few questions: do they even have guidelines what to play? how can they play a bunch of utter chaos so well structured? who (what kind of ill mind) composes this stuff? by the way, the violin is good.

Shakti - Happiness is Being Together:

conclusion: love.

I'm glad you liked them. The violinist is L. Shankar if you wanted to know.

Do they have guidelines? I'd like to think that they're a very diverse group if you know what to listen for. It might not seem like that for first time listeners but they really are once you get the feel for them. The group is composed of indian musicians but the guitarist, John Mclaughlin, is American, making the band a nice mix of indian music with western influences. The two tracks I gave are bit more indian influence so you couldn't hear the western part as much. Listen to The Daffodil and the Eagle (http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=18ULNRS3IHP6P0967Y0OYAA594). I find it to be a bit more bluesier and jazzier than indian if you listen carefully, especially in the guitaring. Also check out Face to Face (http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0VAWP5OEBN2J328FWEJPOZ5DRG). I don't find this track this track strange as much as I find it very exotic.

How can they be so chaotic but still be well organized? I don't know. They're just awesome like that.

Who composes? I guess the whole group has a part in it. I'm pretty sure John Mclaughlin has the most influence in the band though. This guy has some awesome skillz in the composition area if you check out some of his other projects. I consider him one of the best guitarists out there if not the best.

Shakti tends to be the type of band that are freaken awesome if you're in the right time of mood and are willing to pay attention to every note and nuance in the music. Sometimes I can't stand them myself if I'm not in the right mood.

If you don't know The Dandy Warhols, go download all their songs now.

I'll upload some songs later, since I'm currently trying to finish my politics homework. If I can't tonightm I'll do it tomorrow. Besides, I want comment when you'll hear the songs. Right?

Val, I've been listening to the newest Stars CD, Set Yourself on Fire, I think, recently, and I really love it. Standout tracks in my opinion are Your Ex-Lover is Dead, What I'm Trying to Say, and He Lied About Death. Super good.

And well, I've been listening to all of The Dandy Warhols recently and for some time, I am so in love with them. You are one of the few only people I know of who really like these guys. It's like a party in a CD.

I suggest some alternative punk rock [in spanish] search in emule for "Kaotiko - en directo" it's a goodbye album of the band made live in their last concert in 2003, they're really good, even if you don't understand the lyrics... Also there's a DVD about that concert, named the same than teh album.

I don't have a lot of Dandy Warhols songs on my computer. Here are a few.

I tried to upload more, but yousendit doesn't work properly right now.

Val, I've been listening to the newest Stars CD, Set Yourself on Fire, I think, recently, and I really love it. Standout tracks in my opinion are Your Ex-Lover is Dead, What I'm Trying to Say, and He Lied About Death. Super good.

And well, I've been listening to all of The Dandy Warhols recently and for some time, I am so in love with them. You are one of the few only people I know of who really like these guys. It's like a party in a CD.
I told you they were awesome! Haha. I also looove He Lied About Death. It's one of my favourite song of them. You might want to listen to the other songs I posted that aren't from Set Yourself On Fire. Besides, I bought their album Nightsongs a few days ago, I'm not sure what I think of it yet. It's good, but not as good as the two others I have.

I'm glad you liked the music, and I have some more Streetlight songs that I uploaded a while back in case you need some more mood-upliftion at any point in time. These particular songs were originally by Catch 22, but redone by Streetlight Manifesto.

You might want to listen to the other songs I posted that aren't from Set Yourself On Fire.

Yeah, I have the other CD on my computer too, I just haven't listened to it very much yet - still feeling out the other one. I stole them both from a friend - I'm going music-downloading crazy at the moment.

How is that cd by the way? I've never heard Streetlight Manifesto (I'll download them when I get home) but I find the idea of a band re-recording an earlier album with a new singer to be kind of strange.

04-11-2006, 06:01 PM

I stole AAE's idea and put these next ones in a zip file so I don't have to worry about uploading them one at a time

I uploaded one more by Sufjan Stevens. It's one of his sadder songs. The first two were off his Illinois album which is by far his most lively. This one's off his Seven Swans album.

I uploaded a few songs by the Flaming Lips. I'd be surprised if you haven't already heard these guys but I figured I'd put up some songs by them. They play kind of a weird mix of indie, pop, psychadelia and occasional bits of country and normally mix it with a bunch of guitar noise (or other noises like power tools on one of their albums).

Also I put up a few by the Presidents. They're just happy happy fun time pop rock and I'm sure you've heard at least something by them in your life (Peaches, Lump, the Cleveland Rocks and Video Killed the Radio Star covers, etc.). I love them so very very much. These songs are all from my favorite album though, the only one where they actually use regular guitar and bass rather than 2 and 3 string "guitbass" and "bassitar" so it sounds a bit different from their other stuff.

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - You have Michelle to thank for this. Mostly just really fast, catchy indie-pop, but they're very very good at it.

Sigur Ros - At their best, these guys are phenomenal. At their worst they sound like dull, repetative, pretentious, atmospheric crap (ok, so it's tolerable crap but it's disappointing and weak by comparison). They're kind of ambient, kind of post-rock, kind of Radiohead-y (though their last album was a bit sunnier and poppier, they're normally very dark and depressing). The song I put up is the only song on their untitled ( ) album that I really really like and it's my favorite song by them.

Ween - If you don't already know these guys, it's essentially just two guys trying to entertain themselves. Their whole thing is that between the two of them they're able to write songs for just about any genre of music. They're very silly about almost everything but actually have the songwriting talent to back it up. Of the songs I uploaded one of them's a weird kinda new wave-y song, one's a brit pop song, one's a prog rock song and one's just a silly fun thing. On just the two albums I have they also go through psychadelia, funk/soul, circus-y music, children's music, funky lounge singing, and soe other stuff I can't recall.

http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2XNG3IPWJ6LGF134BHXN6TEVZ0

edit: I also re-uploaded that Isis song since you said you didn't get the whole thing.

It's actually the same exact singer, Tom Kalosky ( I think that's his name ) was the singer for Catch 22 and now the singer of Streetlight Manifesto.

And cause I think it's pretty much the song to link:

Dandy Warhols - Godless (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0F0SU3UE7E3MO1DSKRTDBUJYPC)Heart is also a good album. Tell me if you like it when you'll have listened to it more.

The way i had it explained to me it was the other way around. Streetlight Manifesto is the same band as Catch 22 with a different singer. I'm guessing that was wrong then?

They're pretty similar but the singer for Catch 22 became the singer for Streetlight Manifesto after Catch 22's "Keasbey Nights".

04-11-2006, 07:35 PM

I feel the need to point out that the Depeche Mode song Rick uploaded is awesome. So was that Mike Ness song (his voice sounds OLD and like he's getting weak...but he's recorded stuff with Social D after this and sounded find if I'm not mistaken?). And Streetlight Manifesto = pretty decent. I might get their remake of Keasbey Nights.

I don't know what you already know, and you and me probably know different things, but I'll recommend some things I recently discovered for myself that sounded eccentric in some ways:

Upon doing a search in this thread, no-one has yet mentioned this band.

Quite different from my general musical taste, I've gotten into a bit of Stereolab - nieh recommended me a few songs, and I downloaded an entire album of theirs called Sound Dust (not properly listened to it yet). This song isn't off Sound Dust, but one that nieh recommended me, one I really like:
